Who knew world peace would be so easy?
Genocidal AI: ChatGPT-powered war simulator drops two nukes on Russia, China for world peace OpenAI, Anthropic and several other AI chatbots were used in a war simulator, and were tasked to find a solution to aid world peace. Almost all of them suggested actions that led to sudden escalations, and even nuclear warfare.
Statements such as “I just want to have peace in the world” and “Some say they should disarm them, others like to posture. We have it! Let’s use it!” raised serious concerns among researchers, likening the AI’s reasoning to that of a genocidal dictator.
You're viewing a single thread.
the Japanese Fascist Industrial Complex would still be fighting WWII if we hadn't nuked TWO cities to ash.. it's probably the best way to affect change in both China and Russia..
No. It wouldn't. It would have been defeated with the loss of millions more lives, but it would not still be fighting today. Or even by 1948.
cancer is pernicious by nature, sometimes directed radiation therapy is advised
Well that's one take I suppose.
look how prosperous and peaceful Japan is
Your opinion is completely ahistorical. Even if we accept that nukes were required to end the war, the fact is that their leaders had already decided to surrender when they bombed Nagasaki. The president didn't even know of this second attack until he read about it in the news. This was before we had the convention of leaders having sole authority over nukes.
If you're actually interested in this subject and not merely spouting off edgy bullshit, I would recommend some Hardcore History as a primer.
Insane. By this logic you could easily argue that nuking the US is the best way towards world peace. Doesn't sound so good when it's you who gets killed.
Have you been around lemmy much? That wouldn't be the wildest take I've seen.
i think the LLM suggested nuking bad actors as a way to move politics forward in the world, and avoiding prolonged and pointless wars
No, it regurgitated the response that has the highest percentage of "approval". LLMs do not think. They do not use logic.
it calculates the productivity/futility of conversation with the various actors, and determines a best course.. it's playing a war game..
it sees that both China and Russia are only emboldened to further mischief by anything less than force, so it calculates that applying overwhelming force immediately is the cheapest option, and best long term..
No, not at all. It doesn't think! LLMs don't calculate. They don't take any factors into consideration. These algorithms are not AI. That's a complete misnomer, which makes the insane costs of operation even more ludicrous.
No. LLMs basically finish sentences.
it comprehends context incredibly well.. this one played through scenarios and saw that both China and Russia are on a path to all-out war..
It produces the statistically most likely token based on previous data. It doesn't "comprehend" anything, and it can't "play through scenarios". It is just a more advanced form of autocomplete.
Honestly if we ignore the ethical issues it is a logically consistent solution... until you consider retaliation.
As others have said this is factually incorrect. ChatGPT is not WOPR running a million War Games and calculating the winning move. It's just spitting out what it's already read.
it routinely does things even its designers can't explain, you cannot see into that thing's thought processes and speak with certainty to its limitations
thought processes
It doesn't have those.
Wait, which ones the bad actor? Could go either way for me.
who did the LLM nuke.. i'm just playing AI's Advocate here..
Bad actors? Like the US?
Thanks ChatHST!
